As stated in the title, MS teams keeps reverting the volume to 20 %. This is a glaring issue for me as my iems will blast me at 20%.

Unfortunately it is a worklaptop and windows is quite literally closed off, so no regedits to try and solve this. I made sure that in windows in sound that applications also cannot have exclusive control of my sound device, but it seems that this gets circumvented by just adjusting the system volume.

Anyone here that had the same issue and found a good workaround?

Plug in a short 3.5mm extender and only unplug the headphones from the extender so the volume is not reset. Then only change inputs and volume from sound controls.

I don't really follow you I think. You mean just simulate another connected audio device? Then I cannot take my calls

Windows 11?

There’s a new “volume mixer” in the bottom right settings that doesn’t seem to follow the main volume levels. It’s driving me NUTS right now. Check the volume output levels of teams individually from the main volume.

If it's a closed system, your IT department has the keys. Ask them to adjust it.

My company is too big for that, so that's why I ask here for potential workarounds
